Eid Zahra Mubarak to all Momineen and Mominath 

9th of Rabi al-Awal is also known as Eid-e-Zehra(sa) meaning the festival of Fatima al-Zehra(sa), because 3 to 4 years after the tragedy of Karbala, it was on this day that joy and happiness was restored in the family of Ahlul-Bayt(as). From the tragedy of Karbala in 61 AH till this day, the family members of the Holy Prophet(sawaw) had continuously mourned and grieved the martyrdom of Imam al-Husayn(as).

Then Mukhtar bin Ubaydullah al-Thaqafi, together with Ebrahim bin Malik al-Ashtar and others rose to avenge the blood of Imam al-Husayn(as). They arrested every killer of Karbala and executed them. Finally, Mukhtar arrested Umar ibn Saad (commander-in-chief of Yazid’s army at Karbala) and Ubaydullah ibn Ziyad (governor of Yazid in Kufa). He beheaded them and sent their heads to Imam Sajjad(as) in Madina. These two heads reached the Imam(as) on 9th Rabi al-Awal and on seeing them, Imam(as) went into prostration and said, “I thank Allah who kept me alive to this day so that I could see the heads of the tyrants who killed my father.” He then instructed the members of his family to remove the clothes of mourning, adorn themselves and celebrate the day.

This was the first time since the events of Karbala that the people saw smile on the face of Imam Zain-al-Abideen(as). Therefore, the faithful of Prophet Mohammad(sawaw) and his Ahl-e-Bait(as) should celebrate this day as an Eid day. Allah(swt) has reserved great reward for anyone who declares and celebrates this day as Eid day.

9th Rabi al-Aawal is the first day of the Imamate of our Living Imam, Imam al-Mahdi(as) – a day of rejoicing and celebration.

One of the ways which we can strive to be amongst the companions of our Imam is to follow the responsibilities which rest upon us, including the recitation of Dua al-Ahd (the Pledge) every morning in which we proclaim: “O’ Allah, truly I renew on the dawn of this day and all the days of the remainder of my life my pledge, covenant and allegiance to him, as my obligation, which I shall neither contravene, nor neglect … O’ Allah include me among his helpers, defenders, those fulfilling his wishes and commands, his defenders, the fore-runners to carry out his intentions and those to be martyred in his presence … O’ Allah: make him the refuge for Your oppressed servants; a helper for him who has no other helper besides You; the reviver of the commandments of Your book which have been neglected; the strengthener of the sciences in Your religion, and the traditions of Your Prophet. May Allah’s blessing be upon him and his progeny.”
